Topic: coin split-block mechanics (Read 447 times)
It would be interesting to try it though. Do you know how to code the node clients in that way?
This would be accomplished trivially by mining to produce a coinbase transaction that specifies that result, but as far as it being mandatory, you would have to code the node clients in such a way as to reject blocks that do not comply with that payout. It's doubtful that anyone would participate in such an alt-coin, because all you would have accomplished is a transparently-obvious way to premine indefinitely.
Is it possible to release a coin that functions with a block reward being split? For example, where some pre-determined % of the block going to the miner as usual and the remainder goes to a pre-determined public address? Is there an alt-coin that exists already that operates this way?
